Friday morning for Wheeling to
visit his father, who resides in that

favor the Lutheran people of our town
[by whom he is greatly admired
with another pleasant discourse.
The M. G. Band concert last Tues
day evening was one of the best given
this summer. lie Pirate" LUIS
comb, is favorite composition with
the public, and is generally very well
rendered by the band, tho there is a
spirit and a soul in its creation that
are not found by the mere playing of
the notes, but require the breath of
perceptive inte lligent life. Music is
as much language as is the Kings
English, and to render either express
sively requires full and entire conn.,
prehension of at least subject and
matter; on the same principle as
that fiddle is fiddle until is play
ed by musician,-then it becomes a
violin. Mr.. Kogleschatz handles the
Piccolo with the skill of an artist, and
should have responded, If only with
a bar or two,-to the persistent pleas
ed encore of the listener. IT would
be advisable for the police to put on
a half dozen extras band nights to
keep those moving on who stand
around and drown out the band music
with chin music. If you want to
talk go away half square and don't
make yourself a nuisance to those
who do want to hear. The kids I"
are another delight to the band and
their admirers. They swarm around
the stand and under it, and have a
picnic of their own to the annoyance
of everybody in ear shot. They are
particularly interesting when the
minor passages come in, and the
nearer has to exercise mental dexteri-
ty with a vengeance in order to analyze
and separate the sounds and gather
up the harmony that might have
been. This is principally on behalf of
a long suffering public, but I also
IS know how it is myself" Let us
see a little more thoughtfulness in
this matter, and little more courtesy
to the band who kindly play to us
with the design that we shall hear
and enjoy the music.

Little Jimmie was missing since

flashed here on Saturday last, telling
of the death by drowning of son of

tor at this place. 1t seems the little
fellow went with his brother to the
river and climbed up on the wheel OF
Jhe boat Katie Stockdale, which was
tied up opposite the town (Sewickley,
Penna.,) and laid down on one of the
paddles to wait for his brother. He
went to sleep and rolled off and
drowned. The sympathy of Mr..

in his sad affection.
Master Eugene Hollis started for
Springs and other points in
Morgan County, to spend few weeks
with friends, hunting and fishing,
but we regret to learn that driving
from Sir Johns Run to Berkeley
Springs the horse ran off, throwing
Eugene out of the wagon, spraining
his left arm severely and breaking
his gun so badly that the game will
be safe so far as that particular weapon
is concerned.
The young people society, of the
M. e. Church, will give an interest

Evidently the " reform democrats
have been quietly getting there.

The death of Silas Martin, tho not
seems sadly misfortu-
nate. Young in years and with bright
prospects for the future, it seems but
natural to think such as he should be
spared to the world. His father and
friends have the sincerest sympathies
of all in this community. LEONE.
